Note 65 — Chapter II

Among the more important works on Foraminifera for consultation will be found D’Orbigny’s “Foraminiferes Fossiles du Bassin Tertiaire de Vienne” (Autriche); Schultze, “Ueber den Organismus der Polythalamien,” 1854; Carpenter and Williamson’s “Researches on the Foraminifera,” “Phil. Trans. 1856;” Parker and Rupert-Jones in the “Annals of Natural History.” Specimens of Foraminifera may be obtained by shaking dried sponges; but if required alive they must be dredged for, or picked off the fronds of living seaweeds, over the surface of which they are, by the aid of a lens, seen to move.
